    65. Immune System Support: No Matter What Goes On in the World

    The conversations surrounding COVID may still stir up strong opinions, but Lisa wants to take this one somewhere more useful: what can you do today to better support your body when illness eventually comes your way? Lisa looks back at her family's experience during the pandemic, including the decisions they faced around vaccination, her own experience with the return of childhood asthma symptoms, and the questions that experience raised for her about immune health. Rather than debating the past, she uses it as a starting point for a conversation about becoming more proactive with your health. From vitamin D and sunlight to sleep, movement, sweating, liver support, and especially gut health, Lisa walks through the everyday habits she believes create a stronger foundation for the body. The goal isn't to wait until you feel terrible and scramble for answers. It's to build supportive habits now so they're already there when you need them. In this episode, Lisa explores: Her family's personal experiences during and after COVID Why early symptoms can be a signal to slow down and pay attention The connection Lisa draws between gut health and immune health How sunlight, sleep, movement, and sweating fit into her routine Why building healthy habits before illness strikes matters Key Moments 07:47 – Lisa shares what happened after she contracted COVID 12:59 – Why small symptoms can be your body's invitation to pay attention 19:46 – Lisa shifts into the everyday habits she uses to support immune health 24:06 – Why gut health becomes central to Lisa's approach to immunity 40:57 – Building your immune-health foundation before you need it  Take the next step: → Immune System Health Pack: Support your immune system with the Standard Process Immune System Health Pack mentioned in this episode. https://www.standardprocess.com/store/lisagarrettnutrition/products/immune-system-health-pack → 4-Day Digestive Reset: A short digestive reset to help you get back on track and give your gut some extra support.https://pages.lisagarrettnutrition.com/4-day-digestive-reset → 7-Day Reset: Looking three months pregnant after a meal?

    64. Seasonal Shifts: 7 Ways to Prepare Your Body for Fall

    As summer winds down and fall begins, Lisa makes a handful of intentional changes to the way she eats, sleeps, moves, and takes care of her body. In this episode, she walks through seven seasonal shifts she uses to work with the changing season instead of trying to maintain the exact same routine all year. From choosing seasonal produce and warming up your meals to adjusting your bedtime and exercise routine, Lisa explains why our bodies may need something different as the days become shorter and cooler. She also shares how morning sunlight fits into her routine, why she prioritizes getting outside even when the weather changes, and how she approaches seasonal detoxification. Finally, Lisa turns to gut and immune health as fall approaches. With the holidays around the corner, she encourages listeners to use this transition as an opportunity to understand what their bodies need now, rather than waiting until they're exhausted, run down, or struggling later in the season. In this episode, Lisa explores: How to shift your food choices with the changing seasons Why warmth, sleep, and morning routines matter as days get shorter How Lisa changes her exercise routine throughout the year Why she uses the end of summer as a time to reset How gut health supports the body heading into fall and the holidays Key Moments 06:44 – Seasonal shift #1: Eating foods that naturally align with the season 12:30 – Seasonal shift #2: Keeping your body and feet warmer 15:29 – Seasonal shift #3: Adjusting sleep and morning routines as daylight changes 26:21 – Seasonal shift #4: Why Lisa changes her exercise routine throughout the year 34:16 – Seasonal shifts #5–7: Detoxing, getting outside, and supporting immune health Take the next step: 4-Day Digestive ResetA short digestive reset to help you get back on track and give your gut some extra support.https://pages.lisagarrettnutrition.com/4-day-digestive-reset 7-Day ResetLooking three months pregnant after a meal?

    63. Married 32 Years: Life, Love, Four Boys & a Lot of Chaos with Guest Jim Garrett

    This episode looks a little different. Lisa is recording from the car on the way to Davenport with her husband, Jim, and what unfolds is a funny, nostalgic, and surprisingly tender look back at more than three decades of marriage, family, and growing up together. Lisa and Jim revisit how they met, the early years of raising four boys, road trips, parenting philosophies, favorite music, the dogs who became part of the family, and the stories that still make them laugh years later. Along the way, Jim shares what fatherhood taught him, why he never wanted to be his sons’ “best friend,” and how food and health gradually became such a central part of their home. At its heart, this episode is about the life built in the ordinary moments. The meals, the mess, the dogs, the road trips, the inside jokes, and the years of figuring things out together. It’s a lighter conversation, but underneath the humor is a reminder that family history is made in the moments you don’t realize you’ll miss until much later. In this episode, Lisa and Jim explore: How they met and the story behind their 32-year marriage What raising four boys taught them about parenting The family road trips, traditions, and memories they still laugh about The dogs who shaped different chapters of their family life How Lisa’s approach to food and nutrition changed their home over the years Key Moments 03:15 – Lisa and Jim share the story of how they first met 09:41 – Raising four boys and Jim’s philosophy on being their dad, not their best friend 19:58 – Jim’s anniversary surprise brings all four boys together in Florida 31:56 – Lisa and Jim look back at the dogs who became part of their family story 45:36 – Jim shares what it’s really like being married to a nutritionist Ready to Heal Your Gut?

    62. GLP-1s: What They Do, What They Don’t, and What You Need to Know

    GLP-1 medications have become one of the biggest conversations in weight loss, and Lisa believes the discussion needs more nuance than simply deciding whether they are “good” or “bad.” In this episode, Lisa breaks down what GLP-1 actually means, how the hormone works naturally inside the body, and why medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and others can reduce appetite, slow stomach emptying, and support blood sugar regulation. She also walks through common side effects, including nausea, constipation, fatigue, digestive changes, and loss of lean muscle mass. But this conversation goes beyond medication. Lisa explains how protein, fiber, exercise, insulin sensitivity, hunger hormones, and gut health all play a role in appetite and body composition. She also challenges listeners to ask a deeper question: what led to the weight gain, fatigue, cravings, or metabolic struggles in the first place? This episode is not about shaming anyone for using a GLP-1. It is about understanding your options, becoming an active participant in your health, and recognizing that sustainable change still requires attention to the habits, food, and lifestyle supporting your body every day. In this episode, Lisa explores: What GLP-1 is and how your body naturally produces it How GLP-1 medications affect appetite, digestion, and blood sugar Common side effects and concerns around muscle loss and digestive health Why protein, fiber, movement, and insulin sensitivity still matter The connection between gut health, hunger hormones, and sustainable weight management Key Moments 03:38 – How GLP-1 interacts with hunger hormones, appetite, and insulin sensitivity 08:32 – The most common GLP-1 medications and potential side effects 18:10 – How protein, fiber, and real food can support your body’s own GLP-1 response 22:52 – Why Lisa believes getting to the root of weight gain matters 27:47 – Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and the differences between GLP-1 medications Ready to Heal Your Gut?

Fresh from a family trip through Iowa, Maine, and Boston, Lisa shares how she travels without abandoning the habits that help her feel her best.
